Democrat Hagan, then riding high as a brand new senator, voted for the Affordable Health Care Act in 2010. Like the other Democrat lemmings in Congress, she apparently wanted to pass Obamacare so she could find out what was in it.

Now that tens of thousands of Americans are losing the insurance the president promised they could keep …

Now that skyrocketing premiums are making affordable health insurance unaffordable …

Now that maternity care is forced on women well past middle age …

Now that the Obama team couldn’t get a health insurance website up and going in more than three years …

Now that Americans KNOW what Obamacare is all about …

And now that legitimate outrage echos across North Carolina and throughout the USA …

Sen. Hagan finds the problems with Obamacare’s website, gateway to what was supposed to be Health Insurance Nirvana, “unacceptable.”

And so she is doing what politicians do when they know they are on the wrong side of an issue:

Sen. Hagan is asking for an investigation.

She is collecting signatures for a letter to the Government Accountability Office’s controller general and to the Health and Human Services’ inspector general. In a draft of the letter obtained by national news organizations, the senator says Healthcare.gov problems “are simply unacceptable, and Americans deserve answers and swift solutions.”

Given that bureaucrats and politicians move slower than molasses on a cold morning, don’t count on anything in Washington being “swift.” This seat of government thrives on investigations that bog down the over-staffed agencies and departments long enough for the day’s political topic to move to the next thing.

Sen. Hagan’s expression of outrage is simply politics as usual. She’s up for re-election next year and so she’s off and running with a classic political stunt — appear to be doing something.

The senator knows that a Washington investigation will not be swift and will amount to little more than bureaucrats covering for themselves and others on the government payroll.

It is tempting to chuckle at Sen. Hagan’s re-election campaign antics. But what is happening as a result of the Obamacare debacle is no laughing matter — and voters would be wise to think seriously about whether to re-elect Kay Hagan.
